Shareholder Letter

August 31, 2012 (Unaudited)


Dear Fellow Shareholders,


    The first half of our 14th fiscal year ended on August 31, 2012, in the midst of a market rally that continued into September and early October. Although it has now been three-and-a-half years since the market bottomed in 2009, we continue to be aware of the need to invest defensively, which we hope to do by owning the highest-quality companies available. Results for the six months ended August 31 included the following highlights:


...Net investment income (dividends and interest, less expenses) totaled $383,151, up from $372,548 a year earlier. We continue to add to our holdings that have a history of strong (and growing) dividends.


...Gross dividends received totaled $563,298 during the six-month period, up from $543,668 last year, and we believe that we should record our fifth straight fiscal year (ending February 28, 2013) with more than $1 million in dividends received.


...Our expense ratio declined from 0.88% (for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2012) to 0.78% (for the six months ended August 31, 2012). The divisor for this ratio is average net assets, which ranged between $38.3 million and over $40 million during this period.


    In August, the Moneypaper editors replaced four Index components, which were only beginning to be reflected by the fund's holdings listed in the pages that follow. The new components – AFLAC, General Mills, Medtronic, and Yum! Brands – represent leadership in their respective industries, and we expect that they should improve the portfolio. We continue to limit our top holdings to less than 3% of total assets and are systematically adding to companies that represent 1% or less of total assets. We think this approach should lead to both decreased risk and lower volatility, while allowing us to build our dividend base.


    As always, we thank you for your support and once again congratulate DRIPX shareholders for their restraint during market sell-offs. We urge you to join us in funding your account(s), either through dollar-cost averaging or periodic purchasing as we seek to take advantage of the ongoing potential opportunities afforded by the stock market.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

Must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus. Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.


Fund holdings are subject to change and should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Please refer to the schedule of investments in the report for complete holdings information.


Dollar-cost averaging involves continuous investment in securities regardless of fluctuating price levels of such securities; the investor should consider his/her financial ability to continue purchases through periods of low price levels. Dollar-cost averaging  does not assure a profit and do not protect against loss in declining markets.

THE MP63 FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AUGUST 31, 2012 (UNAUDITED)




NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION


The MP63 Fund (the "Fund") is organized as a Maryland Corporation, incorporated on October 13, 1998, and registered as an open-end, diversified, management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  The Fund's business and affairs are managed by its officers under the direction of its Board of Directors.  The Fund's investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation for shareholders.


NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.  These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).


A.

Security Valuation - Portfolio securities traded on a national securities exchange are stated at the last reported sales price or a market’s official close price on the day of valuation. Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. Portfolio securities for which market quotations are not considered readily available are valued at fair value on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service approved by the Board of Directors. Portfolio companies during this reporting period are all widely traded and pricing information is readily available.


Mutual Funds must utilize various methods to measure the fair value of most of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:


Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.


Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.


Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuating the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.


To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3. However, the inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.


The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by the above fair value hierarchy levels as of August 31, 2012:

The Fund did not hold any level 3 assets during the six months ended August 31, 2012. The Fund did not hold any derivative instruments at any time during the six months ended August 31, 2012. There were no significant transfers into or out of level 1 or level 2 during the period. It is the Fund’s policy to recognize transfers into and out of level 1 and level 2 at the end of the reporting period.


B.

Security Transactions and Related Investment Income - Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date.  Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.


C.

Federal Income Taxes - The Fund complies with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies, distributing all of its taxable income to its shareholders.  Therefore, no provision for Federal income tax is required.  There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements in connection with tax positions taken by the Fund.  The Fund’s tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.  There are currently no open tax years prior to February 28, 2008 and the Fund had no income tax related penalties or interest in these financial statements.


D.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Fund records dividends and distributions to shareholders on the ex-dividend date. The Fund will distribute its net investment income, if any, and net realized capital gains, if any, annually.


E.

Credit Risk - Financial instruments that potentially subject the Fund to credit risk include cash deposits in excess of federally insured limits.


F.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


NOTE 3.  INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement (the "Agreement") with The Moneypaper Advisor, Inc. (the "Advisor").  Under this Agreement, the Advisor provides the Fund with investment advice and supervises the Fund's investments.  As compensation for the services rendered, the Fund pays the Advisor a fee accrued daily based on an annualized rate of .35% of the daily net asset value.  For the six months ended August 31, 2012, the Advisor earned fees of $69,911.  At August 31, 2012 the Fund owed the Advisor $11,871 for advisory fees.  


The Advisor has voluntarily agreed to defer its fee and to reimburse the Fund for other expenses if the total operating expenses of the Fund exceed an annual rate of 1.25% of average daily net assets.  Under the terms of the Agreement, fees deferred or expenses reimbursed are subject to reimbursement by the Fund, if so requested by the Advisor, up to three fiscal years from the fiscal year the fee or expense was incurred. However, no reimbursement payment will be made by the Fund if it would result in the Fund exceeding the voluntary expense limitation described above.


The Fund has an administrative agreement with Mutual Shareholder Services (The "Administrator"). Under this agreement, the Administrator provides the Fund with administrative, transfer agency, and fund accounting services.  Mutual Shareholder Services charges an annual fee of approximately $51,000 for services rendered based on the Fund’s current asset size.  


An affiliate of the Advisor provides certain administrative services to the Fund. These expenses amounted to $21,000 during the six months ended August 31, 2012.  At August 31, 2012, the Fund owed $4,713 for administrative services.  


Vita Nelson is an officer and director of the Advisor and also an officer and director of the Fund.  The Fund currently pays each Independent Director an annual retainer of $2,000.  For the six months ended August 31, 2012 the Fund incurred $3,135 in director fees.   


The Chief Compliance Officer is paid $1,000 per month.  For the six months ended August 31, 2012 the Chief Compliance Officer expenses incurred to the Fund amounted to $6,050.



NOTE 4. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS


For the six months ended August 31, 2012, purchases and sales of securities, excluding short-term investments, aggregated $910,273 and $1,887,781, respectively. Cumulative unrealized appreciation (depreciation) amounted to the following: Unrealized appreciation $10,369,848 Unrealized depreciation (2,007,872), Net unrealized appreciation $8,361,976.


For Federal income tax purposes, the cost of investments owned at August 31, 2012 was $31,211,133.


NOTE 5.  TAX INFORMATION


Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary.  Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gain as ordinary income for tax purposes.


As of August 31, 2012, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows: Ordinary income $480,459, Long term gains $82,279 Unrealized appreciation $10,369,848 Unrealized depreciation (2,007,872).



The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2011 was as follows:

Distributions paid from: Ordinary income $653,859 Long term capital gains 0.


The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012 was as follows:

Distributions paid from: Ordinary income $753,469 Long term capital gains 0.


No distributions were paid as of the six months ended August 31, 2012.


NOTE 6.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.  Based upon this evaluation, except as noted in Note 8, the Fund has determined no subsequent events have occurred which would require disclosure in the financial statements.  


NOTE 7.  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT


In May 2011 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). ASU 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS.  ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose additional information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2011-04 and its impact on the financial statements.




Expense Example

As a shareholder of the MP63 Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution [and/or service] (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses.  This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, March 1, 2012 through August 31, 2012.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Fund’s actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in this Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
